Prince Harry and Ed Sheeran have joined together under a common goal — and it's not raising awareness of gingers.

The royal and the musician put out a video on the @sussexroyal Instagram account to promote World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10).

In the video, Sheeran meets with Prince Harry, a fellow redhead, for what he thinks is a collaboration on a campaign to defend gingers.

""People just don't understand what it's like for people like us — with the jokes and the snide comments," Sheeran says in the video. "I think it's time we stood up and say, 'We are ginger, and we are going to fight.'"

Prince Harry sets him straight, Sheeran quickly deletes notes titled "GINGERS UNITE" and the pair end the video on a more serious note.

"Guys, this Mental Health Day, reach out, make sure your friends, strangers — look out for anyone who may suffer in silence," Prince Harry says in the video. "We're all in this together."
